Brochure: Help conserve our city’s water supply. By converting the landscaping in your yard to a water-conserving landscape, you can greatly reduce your outdoor water use. A water-conserving landscape is natural and attractive, and it also saves you money.

Criticism: For most people with yards, the savings from converting to a water-conserving landscape cannot justify the expense of new landscaping, since typically the conversion would save less than twenty dollars on a homeowner’s yearly water bills.

Which of the following, if true, provides the best basis for a rebuttal of the criticism?

题目要求反驳 Criticism,

反驳Criticism的方法:或者直接反驳Criticism, 或者加强Brochure

Criticism 说的是没有省多少钱,Brochure说的是省钱, 找一个选项跟钱有关系的

1. Even homeowners whose yards do not have water-conserving landscapes can conserve water by installing water-saving devices in their homes. 没"钱"
2. A conventional landscape generally requires a much greater expenditure on fertilizer and herbicide than does a water-conserving landscape. 有了
3. A significant proportion of the residents of the city live in buildings that do not have yards. 无关范围且没"钱"
4. It costs no more to put in water-conserving landscaping than it does to put in conventional landscaping. 也有"钱"
5. Some homeowners use more water to maintain their yards than they use for all other purposes combined.没"钱"

B和D有"钱",逐个分析

B说原来的那种比WATER这种费钱,说明WATER这种省, 加强Brochure (留着)

D说两种一样,体现不出省钱这回事 (扔掉)

我觉得D不是put的问题，而是costs no more，即wc花费小于等于c，

小于可能是削弱，但是等于就构不成削弱

1. Even homeowners whose yards do not have water-conserving landscapes can conserve water by installing water-saving devices in their homes.
2. A conventional landscape generally requires a much greater expenditure on fertilizer and herbicide than does a water-conserving landscape.

5. Some homeowners use more water to maintain their yards than they use for all other purposes combined.

为了确保理解题义帮助讨论，我将题目翻译一下，如有错误，请指正：

Brochure: 为节省我市水资源，将你家园子里传统的landscape换成储水型的landscape，将能大大减少户外用水。储水型的landscape 自然美观，还省钱。

发对派：对有园子的人来说，转换成储水型的landscape后省下的钱，不足以成为更换的理由！因为储水型的landscape 一年也就为每户省不到20块水费！

请发驳发对派的观点。

答案：B：传统的landscape 比储水型的landscape ，要在肥料、除草剂上花费更多得多的钱！

（理解：可见：新的储水型的landscape 尽管帮你省的水费不多，但是帮你省了大笔买肥料、除草剂的钱，因此：还是很省钱的，值得换！）

另：这个landscape具体中文在此翻译成什么比较好，请NN帮忙？

非常清楚！要反驳的结论是：转换成储水型的landscape后省下的钱，不足以成为更换的理由

D - 建造储水型landscape不比建造传统landscape花得钱多，无关。
